Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the modulation of ⁇ -secretase and cognitive enhancement.
  • the invention further relates to compounds for treatment of conditions associated with amyloid processing such as Alzheimer's Disease and compositions for the treatment of such conditions.
  • ADHD Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
  • Other conditions include general dementias associated with other neurological diseases, aging, and treatment of conditions that can cause deleterious effects on mental capacity, such as cancer treatments, stroke/ischemia, and mental retardation.
  • cognition enhancers or activators that have been developed are generally classified to include nootropics, vasodilators, metabolic enhancers, psychostimulants, cholinergic agents, biogenic amine drugs, and neuropeptides.
  • Vasodilators and metabolic enhancers e.g. dihydroergotoxine
  • cognition enhancers typically only metabolic drugs are employed for clinical use, as others are still in the investigation stage.
  • piracetam activates the peripheral endocrine system, which is not appropriate for Alzheimer's disease due to the high concentration of steroids produced in patients while tacrine, a cholinergic agent, has a variety of side effects including vomiting, diarrhea, and hepatotoxicity.
  • Alzheimer's Disease is typically associated with the formation of plaques through the accumulation of amyloid precursor protein. Attempts to illicit an immunological response through treatment against amyloid and plaque formation have been done in animal models, but have not been successfully extended to humans.
  • cholinesterase inhibitors only produce some symptomatic improvement for a short time and in only a fraction of the Alzheimer's Disease patients with mid to moderate symptoms and are thus only a useful treatment for a small portion of the overall patient population. Even more critical is that present efforts at improving cognition do not result in treatment of the disease condition, but are merely ameliorative of the symptoms. Current treatments do not modify the disease progression. These treatments have also include the use of a "vaccine" to treat the symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease patients which, while the theoretically plausible and effective in mice tests, have been shown to cause severe adverse reactions in humans.
  • Alzheimer's disease is associated with extensive loss of specific neuronal subpopulations in the brain with memory loss being the most universal symptom.
  • Katzman, R. (1986) New England Journal of Medicine 314:964 ).
  • Alzheimer's disease is well characterized with regard to neuropathological changes. However, abnormalities have been reported in peripheral tissue supporting the possibility that Alzheimer's disease is a systematic disorder with pathology of the central nervous system being the most prominent.
  • Connolly, G., Fibroblast models of neurological disorders: fluorescence measurement studies, Review, TiPS Col. 19, 171-77 (1998 ) For a discussion of Alzheimer's disease links to a genetic origin and chromosomes 1, 14, and 21 see St. George-Hyslop, P.
  • ⁇ -amyloid and tau are proteins most consistently identified in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease to play a role in the physiology or pathophysiology of brain.
  • ⁇ -amyloid and tau are proteins most consistently identified in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease to play a role in the physiology or pathophysiology of brain.
  • K + and Ca 2+ channels have been demonstrated to play key roles in memory storage and recall.
  • potassium channels have been found to change during memory storage.
  • This observation coupled with the almost universal symptom of memory loss in Alzheimer's patents, led to the investigation of potassium channel function as a possible site of Alzheimer's disease pathology and the effect of PKC modulation on cognition.
  • PKC was identified as one of the largest gene families of non-receptor sereine-threonine protein kinases. Since the discovery of PKC in the early eighties by Nishizuka and coworkers ( Kikkawa et al., J. Biol. Chem., 257, 13341 (1982 ), and its identification as a major receptor of phorbol esters ( Ashendel et al., Cancer Res., 43, 4333 (1983 )), a multitude of physiological signaling mechanisms have been ascribed to this enzyme. The intense interest in PKC stems from its unique ability to be activated in vitro by calcium and diacylglycerol (and its phorbol ester mimetics), an effector whose formation is coupled to phospholipid turnover by the action of growth and differentiation factors.
  • the PKC gene family consists presently of 11 genes which are divided into four subgrounds: 1) classical PKC ⁇ , ⁇ 1 , ⁇ 2 ( ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 are alternatively spliced forms of the same gene) and ⁇ , 2) novel PKC ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ and ⁇ , 3) atypical PKC ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ and ⁇ and 4) PKC ⁇ .
  • PKC ⁇ resembles the novel PKC isoforms but differs by having a putative transmembrane domain (reviewed by Blohe et al., Cancer Metast. Rev. 13, 411 (1994 ); Ilug et al., Biochem j., 291, 329 (1993 ); Kikkawa et al., Ann. Rev. Biochem.
  • the ⁇ , ⁇ 1 , ⁇ 2 , and ⁇ isoforms are Ca 2+ , phospholipid and diacylglycerol-dependent and represent the classical isoforms of PKC, whereas the other isoforms are activated by phospholipid and diacylglycerol but are not dependent on Ca 2+ . All isoforms encompass 5 variable (V1-V5) regions, and the ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ isoforms contain four (C1-C4) structural domains which are highly conserved.
  • All isoforms except PKC ⁇ , ⁇ and ⁇ lack the C2 domain, and the ⁇ , ⁇ and isoforms also lack nine of two cysteine-rich zinc finger domains in C1 to which diacylglycerol binds.
  • the C1 domain also contains the pseudosubstrate sequence which is highly conserved among all isoforms, and which serves an autoregulatory function by blocking the substrate-binding site to produce an inactive conformation of the enzyme ( House et al., Science, 238, 1726 (1987 )).
  • PKC isoforms are thought to have highly specialized roles in signal transduction in response to physiological stimuli ( Nishizuka, Cancer, 10, 1892 (1989 )), as well as in neoplastic transformation and differentiation ( Glazer, Protein Kinase C. J.F. Kuo, ed., Oxford U. Press (1994) at pages 171-198 ).
  • PKC modulators see PCT/US97/08141 , U.S. Patent Nos. 5,652,232 ; 6,043,270 ; 6,080,784 ; 5,891,906 ; 5,962,498 ; 5,955,501 ; 5,891,870 and 5,962,504 .
  • PKC has proven to be an exciting target for the modulation of APP processing. It is well established that PKC plays a role in APP processing. Phorbol esters for instance have been shown to significantly increase the relative amount of non-amyloidogenic soluble APP (sAPP) secreted through PKC activation. Activation of PKC by phorbol ester does not appear to result in a direct phosphorylation of the APP molecule, however. Irrespective of the precise site of action, phorbol-induced PKC activation results in an enhanced or favored ⁇ -secretase, non-amyloidogenic pathway.
  • sAPP non-amyloidogenic soluble APP
  • PKC activation is an attractive approach for influencing the production of non-deleterious sAPP and even producing beneficial sAPP and at the same time reduce the relative amount of A ⁇ peptides.
  • Phorbol esters are not suitable compounds for eventual drug development because of their tumor promotion activity. ( Ibarreta, et al., Benzolactam (BL) enhances sAPP secretion in fibroblasts and in PC12 cells, NeuroReport, Vol. 10 No. 5&6, pp 1034-40 (1999 )).
  • PKC isozymes play different, sometimes opposing, roles in biological processes, providing two directions for pharmacological exploitation.
  • One is the design of specific (preferably, isozyme specific) inhibitors of PKC. This approach is complicated by the fact that the catalytic domain is not the domain primarily responsible for the isotype specificity of PKC.
  • the other approach is to develop isozyme-selective, regulatory site-directed PKC activators. These may provide a way to override the effect of other signal transduction pathways with opposite biological effects. Alternatively, by inducing down-regulation of PKC after acute activation, PKC activators may cause long term antagonism. Bryostatin is currently in clinical trials as an anti-cancer agent.
  • the bryostatin are known to bind to the regulatory domain of PKC and to activate the enzyme.
  • Bryostatin is an example of isozyme-selective activators of PKC.
  • Compounds in addition to bryostatins have been found to modulate PKC. (see for example WO 97/43268 )
  • the methods and compositions of the present invention fulfill these needs and will greatly improve the clinical treatment for Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases, as well as, provide for improved cognitive enhancement.
  • the methods and compositions also provide treatment and/or enhancement of the cognitive state through the modulation of ⁇ -secretase.
  • the invention relates to compounds, compositions, and methods for the treatment of conditions associated with enhancement/improvement of cognitive ability.
  • the present invention further relates to compounds, compositions and methods for the treatment of conditions associated with amyloid processing, such as Alzheimer's Disease, which provides for improved/enhanced cognitive ability in the subject treated.

  • macrocyclic lactone compounds compositions and methods that modulate ⁇ -secretase activity.
  • bryostatin and neristatin class compounds are of particular interest.
  • bryostatin-1 are of further interest.
  • Another aspect of the invention relates to the bryostatin and neristatin class compounds, as a PKC activator, to alter conditions associated with amyloid processing in order to enhance the ⁇ -secretase pathway to generate soluble ⁇ -amyloid precursor protein ( ⁇ APP) so as to prevent ⁇ -amyloid aggregation and improve/enhance cognitive ability.
  • Such activation for example, can be employed in the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease.
  • bryostatin-1 is particularly interest.
  • the invention in another aspect, relates to a method for treating plaque formation, such as that associated with Alzheimer's Disease, and improving/enhancing the cognitive state of the subject comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of macrocyclic lactone to activate PKC.

  • bryostatin-1 is used.
  • the invention comprises a composition of PKC isoenzyme activator administered in a amount effective to improve cognitive abilities.

  • the amount of PKC activator administered is in an amount effective to increase the production of sAPP.
  • the amount of composition administered does not cause myalgia.
  • the PKC isoenzymes are activated in subjects, which are suffering or have suffered from neurological diseases, strokes or hypoxia. In a more preferred embodiment the PKC isoenzyme is activated in Alzheimer's Disease subjects or models.
  • the PKC activation results in the modulation of amyloid precursor protein metabolism. Further the modulation by the PKC activation results in an increase in the alpha secretase pathway. The alpha secretase pathway results in non-toxic, non-amyloidogenic fragments related to cognitive impairment. As a result the cognitive condition of the subject improves. In another embodiment of the invention the PKC activation reduces the amyloidogenic and toxic fragments Abeta 40 and Ab42.
  • Another embodiment of the invention is a method of improving cognitive ability through the activation of PKC isoenzymes.

  • the invention also provides a method for treating Alzheimer's disease comprising administering to a patient an effective amount of a macrocyclic lactone (i.e. bryostatin class and neristatin class).
  • a macrocyclic lactone i.e. bryostatin class and neristatin class.
  • the bryostatin or neristatin class compounds may be used in the above methods in combination with different phorbol esters to prevent or reduce tumorogentic response in the subject.
  • Memory loss and impaired learning ability are features of a range of clinical conditions. For instance, loss of memory is the most common symptom of dementia states including Alzheimer's disease. Memory defects also occur with other kinds of dementia such as multi-infarct dementia (MID), a senile dementia caused by cerebrovascular deficiency, and the Lewy-body variant of Alzheimer's disease with or without association with Parkinson's disease, or Creutzfeld-Jakob disease. Loss of memory is a common feature of brain-damaged patients.
  • MID multi-infarct dementia
  • senile dementia caused by cerebrovascular deficiency
  • Lewy-body variant of Alzheimer's disease with or without association with Parkinson's disease
  • Creutzfeld-Jakob disease Creutzfeld-Jakob disease. Loss of memory is a common feature of brain-damaged patients.
  • Brain damage may occur, for example, after a classical stroke or as a result of an anesthetic accident, head trauma, hypoglycemia, carbon monoxide poisoning, lithium intoxication, vitamin (B1, thiamine and B12) deficiency, or excessive alcohol use or Kosakow's disorder.
  • Memory impairment may furthermore be age-associated; the ability to recall information such as names, places and words seems to decrease with increase age.
  • Transient memory loss may also occur in patients, suffering from a major depressive disorder, after electro-convulsive therapy (ECT).
  • ECT electro-convulsive therapy
  • Alzheimer's disease is in fact the most important clinical entity responsible for progressive dementia in ageing populations, whereas hypoxia/stroke is responsible for significant memory defects not related to neurological disorders.
  • Alzheimer's disease is characterized by progressive memory impairments, loss of language and visuospatial skills and behavior deficits ( McKhann et al., 1986, Neurology, 34:939-944 ).
  • the cognitive impairment of individuals with Alzheimer's disease is the result of degeneration of neuronal cells located in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, basal forebrain and other brain regions.
  • Histologic analyzes of Alzheimer's disease brains obtained at autopsy demonstrated the presence of neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) in perikarya and axons of degenerating neurons, extracellular neuritic (senile) plaques, and amyloid plaques inside and around some blood vessels of affected brain regions.
  • NFT neurofibrillary tangles
  • Neurofibrillary tangles are abnormal filamentous structures containing fibers (about 10 nm in diameter) that are paired in a helical fashion, therefore also called paired helical filaments. Neuritic plaques are located at degenerating nerve terminals (both axonal and dendritic), and contain a core compound of amyloid protein fibers. In summary, Alzheimer's disease is characterized by certain neuropathological features including intracellular neurofibrillary tangles, primarily composed of cytoskeletal proteins, and extracellular parenchymal and cerebrosvascular amyloid.
  • AD Alzheimer's disease
  • APP amyloid precursor protein
  • amyloid precursor protein determines the production of fragments that later aggregate forming the amyloid deposits characteristic of Alzheimer's disease (AD), known as senile or AD plaques.
  • AD Alzheimer's disease
  • APP processing is an early and key pathophysiological event in AD.
  • APP processing pathways Three alternative APP processing pathways have been identified.
  • the previously termed "normal" processing involves the participation of an enzyme that cleaves APP within the A ⁇ sequence at residue Lysl6 (or between Lysl6 and Leu17; APP770 nomenclature), resulting in non-amyloidogenic fragments: a large N-terminus ectodomain and a small 9 kDa membrane bound fragment.
  • This enzyme yet to be fully identified, is known as ⁇ -secretase.
  • Two additional secretases participate in APP processing.
  • One alternative pathway involves the cleavage of APP outside the A ⁇ domain, between Met671 and Asp672 (by ⁇ -secretase) and the participation of the endosomal-lysomal system.
  • cultured cells transfected with this mutation or the APP 717 mutation secrete larger amounts of A ⁇ . More recently, carriers of other APP mutations and PS1 and PS2 mutations have been shown to secrete elevated amounts of a particular form, long (42-43 amino acids) A ⁇ .
  • the PKC isoenzymes provides a critical, specific and rate limiting molecular target through which a unique correlation of biochemical, biophysical, and behavioral efficacy can be demonstrated and applied to subjects to improve cognitive ability.
  • PKC protein kinase
  • Alterations in PKC, as well alterations in calcium regulation and potassium (K + ) channels are included among alterations in fibroblasts in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients.
  • PKC activation has been shown to restore normal K + channel function, as measured by TEA-induced [Ca 2+ ] elevations.
  • Further patch-clamp data substantiates the effect of PKC activators on restoration of 113psK + channel activity.
  • PKC activator-based restoration of K + channels has been established as an approach to the investigation of AD pathophysiology, and provides a useful model for AD therapeutics. (See pending applications 09/652,656 herein incorporated in its entirety.)
  • AD Alzheimer's disease
  • animal neuronal cells peripheral tissues from Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and animal neuronal cells permitted the identification of a number of cellular/molecular alterations reflecting comparable processes in the AD brain and thus, of pathophysiological relevance (Baker et al., 1988; Scott, 1993; Huang, 1994; Scheuner et al., 1996; Etcheberrigaray & Alkon, 1997; Gasparini et al., 1997). Alteration of potassium channel function has been identified in fibroblasts (Etcheberrigaray et al., 1993) and in blood cells (Bondy et al., 1996) obtained from AD patients.
  • ⁇ -amyloid widely accepted as a major player in AD pathophysiology (Gandy & Greengard, 1994; Selkoe, 1994; Yankner, 1996), was capable of inducing an AD-like K + channel alteration in control fibroblasts (Etcheberrigaray et al., 1994). Similar or comparable effects of ⁇ -amyloid on K + channels have been reported in neurons from laboratory animals (Good et al., 1996; also for a review see Fraser et al., 1997).
  • fibroblasts with known dysfunctional K + channels treated with PKC activators restore channel activity as monitored by the presence/absence of TEA-induced calcium elevations.
  • assays based on tetraethylammonium chloride (TEA)-induced [Ca 2+ ] elevation have been used to show functional 113pS K + channels that are susceptible to TEA blockade (Etcheberrigaray et al., 1993, 1994; Hirashima et al., 1996).

  • TEA-induced [Ca 2+ ] elevations and K + channel activity observed in fibroblasts from control individuals are virtually absent in fibroblasts from AD patients (Etcheberrigaray et al., 1993; Hirashima et al., 1996).
  • PKC activators can restore the responsiveness of AD fibroblast cell lines to the TEA challenge.
  • immunoblot evidence from these studies demonstrate that this restoration is related to a preferential participation of the ⁇ isoform.
  • the present inventors have also observed that activation of protein kinase C favors the ⁇ -secretase processing of the Alzheimer's disease (AD) amyloid precursor protein (APP), resulting in the generation of non-amyloidogenic soluble APP (sAPP). Consequently, the relative secretion of amyloidogenic A 1-40 and A 1-42(3) is reduced. This is particularly relevant since fibroblasts and other cells expressing APP and presenilin AD mutations secrete increased amounts of total A ⁇ and/or increased ratios of A 1-42(3) /A 1-40.
  • PKC defects have been found in AD brain ( ⁇ and ⁇ isoforms) and in fibroblasts ( ⁇ -isoform) from AD patients.
  • Synapses are considered a critical site at final targets through which memory-related events realize their functional expression, whether the events involve changed gene expression and protein translation, altered kinase activities, or modified signaling cascades.
  • a few proteins have been implicated in associative memory including Ca 2+ /calmodulin II kinases, protein kinase C, calexcitin, a 22-kDa learning-associated Ca 2+ binding protein, and type II ryanodine receptors.
  • the modulation of PKC through the administration of macrocyclic lactones provides a mechanism to effect synaptic modification.
  • the area of memory and learning impairment is rich in animal models that are able to demonstrate different features of memory and learning processes. (See, for example, Hollister, L.E., 1990, Pharmacopsychiat., 23, (Suppl II) 33-36 ).
  • the available animal models of memory loss and impaired learning involve measuring the ability of animals to remember a discrete event. These tests include the Morris Water Maze and the passive avoidance procedure. In the Morris Water Maze, animals are allowed to swim in a tank divided into four quadrants, only one of which has a safety platform beneath the water. The platform is removed and the animals are tested for how long they search the correct quadrant verse the incorrect quadrants.
  • abnormal is meant to include individuals who have not been diagnosis with or currently display diminished or otherwise impaired cognitive function.
  • the different cognitive abilities may be tested and evaluated through known means well established in the art, including but not limited to tests from basic motor-spatial skills to more complex memory recall testing.
  • tests used for cognitive ability for non-primates include the Morris Water Maze, Radial Maze, T Maze, Eye Blink Conditioning, Delayed Recall, and Cued Recall while for primate subjects test may include Eye Blink, Delayed Recall, Cued Recall, Face Recognition, Minimental, and ADAS-Cog. Many of these tests are typically used in the mental state assessment for patients suffering from AD. Similarly, the evaluation for animal models for similar purposes with well describe in the literature.

  • Cultured skin fibroblasts were obtained from the Coriell Cell Repositories and grown using the general guidelines established for their culture with slight modifications (Cristofalo & Carptentier, 1988; Hirashima et al., 1996).
  • the culture medium in which cells were grown was Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (GIBCO) supplemented with 10% calf serum (Biofluids, Inc.).
  • Fibroblasts from control cell lines (AC), cases AG07141 and AG06241, and a familial AD (FAD) case (AG06848) were utilized.

Hemogenates were obtained by sonication, and centrifuged at ⁇ 12,00g for 20 minutes, and the supernatants were used as the cytosolic fraction.

  • AD cell lines exhibit both defective PKC and impaired sAPP secretion (Bergamaschi et al., 1995; Govoni et al., 1996).
  • ⁇ -amyloid has been shown to induce an AD-like K + channel defect in fibroblasts (Etcheberrigaray et al., 1994) and to block K + currents in cultured neurons (Good et al., 1996). Therefore, we suggest a mechanistic link such that an isozyme-specific PKC defect may lead to abnormal APP processing that, among other possible deleterious effects, alters K + channel function.
  • Recent preliminary data also suggest that, perhaps in a vicious cyclical manner, ⁇ -amyloid in turn causes reductions of PKC (Favit et al., 1997).
  • Bryostatin is capable of being used at concentrations to improve cognition that are 300 to 300,000 times lower than the concentration used to treat tumors.
  • the above example further shows that cognitive ability can be improved in non-diseased subjects as compared to other non-diseased subjects through the administration of bryostatin-1.
  • PKC activators particularly byrostatin-1
